Description

A highball is not only a tall boulder but also a classic mixed drink. Climb the slabby face/arete, and top out. Don't fall, because there is a leg breaking boulder right underneath the climb.

Location

Walk through the "?Speakeasy Chimney?," and look immediately left. This route climbs the west face/arete of the boulder.

Protection

Pads and a spotter.

[Hide Comment] For some reason, this boulder was retrobolted. If anyone happens to find themselves here with bolt removal tools, feel free to remove 'em. Otherwise enjoy the shortest sport route in the Platte, I guess. Sep 23, 2023
